‘L’Amour Toujours’ N°106 – Vintage 90s Music Videos
Annie Lennox’s haunting "Love Song for a Vampire" stands out with its gothic atmosphere and evocative grief, tying perfectly to Coppola's *Dracula*. Another highlight, Michael Bolton’s "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," channels theatrical heartbreak with his dramatic delivery, earning commercial and Grammy success. Meanwhile, Boyzone adds a polished touch to Tracy Chapman’s "Baby Can I Hold You," crafting a tender, chart-climbing ballad.
Thunder's "Dirty Love" captures late '80s hard rock energy without overindulgence, while Lalah Hathaway’s "Baby Don’t Cry," with Angela Winbush's production, delivers smooth R&B polish. Right Said Fred’s fun "Don’t Talk Just Kiss," featuring Jocelyn Brown, blends cheeky energy with early '90s dance vibes. King’s X’s "It’s Love" leans into melodic clarity, exploring lighter sonic textures while retaining a touch of the band’s rock roots.
Singing Sade
Sade's timeless tracks inspire distinct interpretations here. Emmanuel Nwamadi’s heartfelt twist of “The Sweetest Taboo” balances sincerity with vocal depth, while Ane Brun’s “By Your Side” strips it down to acoustic intimacy. Robert Glasper and Lalah Hathaway’s jazz-infused “Cherish The Day” feels alive and improvised, and Lauryn Hill brings raw urgency to “Love Is Stronger Than Pride.” Corneille’s “Smooth Operator” keeps its jazzy elegance with a modern R&B touch, and Kelela reworks “Like A Tattoo” into minimalist beauty, showcasing how Sade’s classics translate across genres and moods.
